Song: Goshen Mabon
"Song: Goshen Mabon" is a song for the autumn equinox, based on the changes in the land observed at that time of year in 2021, and presented here for the first time.
For about a year and a half now, I’ve been writing a series of songs about the natural world in the environment of my home in western Massachusetts near the top of a nearly-1400-foot-high peak in the Berkshire Mountains. I’ve followed the sequence of the Sun arriving at the Summer and Winter Solstices, Equinoxes, and so-called “cross-quarter days” of Oimelc, Ostara, Beltaine, Litha, Lammas, Mabon…

Plans for My 2022 Summer Solstice
Tumblr media
Hello there! It's that time of year again. That's right. We're coming up on the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, aka Litha, aka Midsummer, aka one of my favorite natural phenomena that I've come to love celebrating.
Seriously, I enjoy it far more than Yule or Christmas or [insert other holiday normal folks love more than I do]. If I had to rank my favorite days of the calendar in relation to my spiritual journey, it would go Halloween, the Summer Solstice and the Fall Equinox.
Anyway, because work has been especially busy for me this past few months and I'm well overdue for a mental timeout, but can't take one until July, I'm trying to make this a bit more reasonable and relaxed compared to the last 2 Midsummers I celebrated in 2020 and 2021.
Famous last words, right?
This year's solstice weekend also falls on the same weekend as Juneteenth and Father's Day here in the US. And I'll be visiting my folks that Sunday before Litha to enjoy some good food, games and movie watching. (As well as sneak in a load of laundry.)
But when I return home, I hope to spend as much of the next 2 days as digital free as I can. I mean, I'll need my DVD player to run my Pilates workout, and I'll probably listen to music or a podcast while I cook dinner.
But I really want to try to detox a little bit and focus on simple joyful activities that don't involve a TV, computer, or the internet. So below you'll see me list things like: read my book (printed, not digital); listen to vinyl records; paint; ride my bike in the park; etc.
It's a way to fill the day with joyful experiences while also allowing my senses to connect with what truly moves me in the analog world. And hopefully with fewer EM field emissions.
Without further ado, here's the plan so far ...
Sunday, June 19th ---
Spend the day at my Mom's house ✔️
Relax ✔️
Play trivia game ✔️
Wash laundry ✔️
Enjoy family dinner ✔️
Monday, June 20th ---
Meditate + Tao study + Tarot reading ✔️
Do Pilates workout ✔️+
Work on jigsaw puzzle ✔️
Make Lavender Lemonade ✔️
Go for a walk in the park ✔️
Bake Honey Cakes
Plant flowers in new pot
Paint while listening to vinyl records ✔️~
Write in journal
Tuesday, June 21st ---
Watch sunrise (5:13 am EDT) ✔️
Read my book ✔️
Meditate + Tarot reading for the Solstice ✔️
Go for bike ride in the park
Cook Summer Solstice menu ✔️
Dance around the house
Relax ✔️
Watch sunset
Watch fun/silly movie or TV show (maybe the new season of Derry Girls or Sonic the Hedgehog 2) ✔️
As for the menu, it's essentially the same as last year's, but with a small change:
Breakfast:
Peppermint tea with honey ✔️
Toast with apricot jam ✔️
Banana ✔️
Lunch:
Fresh spinach salad with cherry tomatoes & mushrooms ✔️
Pasta with basil and diced tomatoes ✔️
Honey cake
Lavender lemonade ✔️
Snack:
Apple
Water with lemon ✔️
Dinner:
Baked chicken breast ✔️
Fresh spinach salad with cherry tomatoes & mushrooms ✔️
Honey cake
Ice cream ✔️
Vodka Collins
I'm worried I'll be stuck in the kitchen all day if I save the cooking for the day of the Solstice, so I'm going to make the lemonade and honey cakes the day before.
We'll see how this year's plans play out. Hopefully, it will be as relaxing as I like and need it to be.
Watch this space!

wow, hi, been a while
tl;dr: in the ~2 years I've been gone I've done a lot of different types of growing and I've been thinking about practicing witchcraft regularly again. may or may not revive this blog to track it, no promises
long version under the cut I suppose
My last proper post was that ask I answered December 24, 2021. I know I edited my pinned post, but I don't remember when. The post on Litha was scheduled bc I missed it originally lol
there's a post a bit farther down about focusing on my practice before I help others with theirs, and that's basically what the absence boils down to. I'd been in a bit of a groove, and I never really stopped practicing, but my frequency and dedication definitely took a dip
here's where I maybe get unnecessarily personal, but I think a lot of it might have to do with my autism. masking is exhausting, and during my break I was having an extra rough time mentally, so I just didn't have the energy to even try
recently I've been feeling a bit more motivation, though. I was happy when I was doing this stuff regularly, and maybe it's just hindsight, but I want to try again.
Despite that, I really have no promises of starting this blog back up again. I might, I might not. If I do, it'll probably be a lot more like a journal than a guide.
whatever happens, I do really want to thank you all. Every now and then I'll come on here to check something and see all the new notes and know that I'm still helping people. Even if I'm not making anything new, people are still finding my stuff and using it to learn, and that's really,, heartwarming, I guess.
thanks for finding this kid's stuff cool :]

Litha
a.k.a Midsummer
What is Litha?
Litha is the summer solstice, which is the longest day of the year. Typically, the summer solstice is on or around the 21st of June, although in 2021 it is on June 20th. This day marks the beginning of summer. It is a bittersweet moment (mostly sweet), because we know that the days are at their longest, but soon the darkness will rejoin us. Litha celebrates the Sun (and any Sun gods/deities), joy, and fertility. For some, depending on your traditions and beliefs, this is when the Oak King is at his peak. Litha is another fire festival, where we celebrate life and all that comes with it

With the longest day of the year comes the most daylight.  Let us use this time to shine light on what we have been hiding from and what has been hiding from us.
Let us use the longest day of the year to shine light on what was hard to see in the past. It’s time we step into consciousness and stop living through our unconscious behaviors.
“Light is the game changer, and love is the checkmate.”
